NOT PROVEN.

The country has been prosperous
during the twenty-four years Of Repub
lican rule. But why7 The Republicans
assure Us that it is because of protec-
ton. They point with pride to a
qusr,er-century of unexampled pros
perity" undera high tariff. They con-
ceiYe the logic to be memorable which
proceeds from the Iremise Of
the simultaneous existence of PIC
tection and prosperity Ito the
conclusion that the former hsgets
the latter. The relstion is shown to be
that Of coexistence, not that of depen-
| dencs. That Smiths tailor charged
Smith . high price fer q suit, and
that Smith died while wearing
that suit, proves the tailor to be
responsible foSshe death quite as logi-
cally as Republicans deduce prosperity
from protection.
The truth of the matter is, that the
United States has prospered from the
day of its foundation. It has grown
wonderfully and continuously in popu
lation and wealth, despite the occas-
ional mistakes and follies OF its IegisIa-
tors. Like the locomotive, it has sped
along the track of destiny, impelled by
Al irresistible force UP grade and doyA.
Vast as are the interests affected bY the !
tariff, it is q fact that the country has
gone en- in its march Of progress with
uniformity ofspeed under
free trade and under the tariff. If we
would have been more prosperous un-
der free trade or jgst revenue tariff.
yet we have been PROSPEROUS under
protection.
The exclamation of this is found in a
number of fac:s. The tariff, one wav
Dr. the other, is not as potent in the
advancement of the country
Is other economic activities. Progress

IT is really good thing for France
that the fellow Aubertin, who at
tempted to assassirate Ferry, has gone
mad and heen sent to the asylum. If
he had been sane his deed would have
teen charged to partisan politics, and
would have BODIED no good to the infiu-
entail men of the nation; as it is, his
act will be regarded simply as that of an
insane fellow who had lost his wits
from some other cause than political or
partisan politics.

that the nnMber of pensions under the

4 Baby's Winter Outfit.

Elizabeth Salisbury in Babyhood for February
To many mothers who find the ques-
tioR of ways and means one difficult TO
solve, the story OF how mother
made her baby's Winter outfit at very
small cost may give suggestions of help.
Baby Hal, year and half old, was
plentifnlly supplied with warm indoor
clothing, wearing a WOODEN skirt, flannel
skirt, white flannel dress, cambric petit
coat and dress, with gingham aprons of
pin-hesd check for playing about the
floor. But the matter of outdoor raj
ment it was which his mother pondsred.
A discarded coat of Halls papa, very
shiny, but of excellent fabric, supplied
the material for baby's cloak. 1t was
ripped, sponged, pressed, and turned
wrong side out, and cut in short-waistea
Gretchen shape into a very pretty and
stylish little garment. A half-yard of
velvet of the same brown, costing sew
enty five cents, made deep collar, cuffs,
and wide belt. clasp for the belt at
thirty cent?, half-dozen buttons Mt
twelve cents, and yard and half of
farmers satin for lining, cost
ing ffty-three cents, were the other
materials purchased. The coat is as
comfortable and pretty a garment as
could be desired, and cost just Sl.70. 1t
is very becoming, the dark velvet setting
off the fair hair and fower-like face; and
as it comes quite TO baby's feet, and the
upper part has an interiining of waddipg,
it is quite warm enough for even q New
England winter.
For head-gear to match, the brown
velvet which mamma had worn two win
ters as bonnet was put over n Nor
mandy cap frame, wadded and lined
with silk. A full plating of
lace was put around the front,
and pretty, warm hood was the result,
without one cent of outlay, everything
coming ont of mammals boxes of odds
and ends. The afghan to match cost just
10 cents, expended in buying package
of seal-brown Diamond dye. With this
was colored soiled white woven Shet-
land shawl. A much-worn scarlet felt
skirt furnished an interiiniDg, over which
the shawl was folded and securely sewed
and the effect Of the brown and red is
warm and pretty.
pair of brown wooden stockings,
ribbed and costing so cents. are drawn
over Halls shoes and away above his knees,
and keep the little feet and legs very
warm as he rides in his sled. Next year,
when be runs about out-of- doors, rubbers
will go over these. The idea of over
stockings was brought from Montreal
where winter comfort is reduced TO a sci
ence, and find them much preferable 70
the ordinary ieggings, warmer and easier
TO wear under rubbers.

attire would fancy that its materials we're
furnished by the old clothes closet

TIE 1897 RLTE BOOK.

The new blue book will be the best ever
published. 1t has been compiled under
the immediate direction of Secretary of
State Timme, and will be found especially
full of statistics of general interest
Several new illustrations will appear in it.
The Milwaukee Journal Madison cor
respondent says of it:
The twenty fourth yelume of the Wis
consin blue book, which will be ready for
delivery within a few days, will be a work
rejecting credit upon Secretary Timme,

book calculated to add to its usefulness.
There are three maps, which show the
crop products of each county, the mum
Der of milch COWS and dairy products and
the congressional districts, with the popu-
latioa of each. Among the features
is the new law of 1885, giving the
number and salary of legislative
employees; election returns showing
pluralities in each town, ward and
county, with the population in 1880 and
1885, & full list of state societies. the state
central committees and platforms of the

ficers, superintendents and principals of

views of the completed capitol, science
hall, the school for dependent children
and the Light Horse armory. The above
are among the new features, while the
old have been greatly improved, notably
in the biographical portion, which is very
full and complete. There has been
great deal of labor expended in preparing

There is no doubt that man can exist
on a vegetable diet. He can obtain from
the plant, digest and assimilate those
materials which are needful for the repair
of his own tissues. The arts concerned
in the preparation of food will also un-
doubtedly aid him in his conversion of
vegetable into animal equivalents, and
will supplement his powers by shorten
ing considerably the period required for
gastric digestion. Still, after all has been
said, 1t must be allowed that the labor of
the alimentary track is better adjusted,
and the fermentation of sound tissues
more assured by the use of mixed diet.
If, on the other hand, we assert the prov
ed value of hydrocarbons in organic com
bustion not merely as heat producers, but
as sources of energy, in support of our
vse of vegetables, we must also maintain
that meat, which yields US more easily
the formative ard stimulant proteids, can
hardly be discarded. Our interL al physi-
cal conformation, which is intermediate
between that of the carnivora and her
bivora, should afford at least suggestive
clew in our choice of diet.
